syncing drums to Ableton Live

B-Keeper is a drum tracker which uses a click track to sync Ableton Live to
drums, so that Live will follow the drummer. Click to download.

This has now been developed to function as a MaxForLive plugin, making it easier for musicians to get up and running.
You would still need to download the MaxForLive demo which works with Ableton Live and crucially, the percussive onset detector, bonk~, by Miller Puckette.
Available for Mac OS X and for
Windows.

Audio Slide Show explaining the software

Previous Standalone versions
Older versions of the software use a programming environment called Max/MSP and so would require you to
either have Max (30-day free demo available) or the free Max/MSP Runtime environment and these can be
downloaded from Cycling '74.

There are some olderinstructions on getting it to load. Make sure to put the externals in the Max file path.

"Put simply, it is a system which throws a virtual harness over our
computer and forces it to keep time with Marcus' drums - so off with
his headphones and on with a new era of liberated playing with no need
for click tracks and count-ins."
